barn dance

[redneck]

I got a painting of a barn that needs improving, any ideas will be consider

Your barn looks real good redneck..you're a bit of an abstract man yourself..I love the brick work on the chimney--you've made it very stormy & left no doubt about it..I may have made the largest of your doors a little taller making 3 different sizes, Even though your lightning is very forceful it could probably use a few tendral streaks coming off of the main streaks..I like the contrast between the dark sky & the bright barn itself..it's a very interesting painting & I think you've done very well..I don't think I would change a thing with this one & instead move forward with another..I'm anxious to see more of your work redneck & I'm glad you shared this one with us..

many thanks, Darla calling it a absract painting surprise me , I did not intend to post 2 painting but using a digital camera and transfering pictures is harder than doing the painting because my computer don't tell me what it did, buying the digital camera took my excuse away for not posting my work

Hi redneck, I think your painting falls somewhere between fine & abstract..I like anything bold & bright & painted with enthusiasm & yours fits the bill. I'm glad you've found the airbrush as a hobby & I imagine it brings you a lot of pleasure..

thanks again Darla you say fine I think coarse, I need to study art words, airbrushing will improve my life with pretty painting that I bring to life

Good job there redneck, I agree with Darla on the colors (brightness on the dark) It does have the abstract appearance. Keep up the good work and keep posting your work

ghooptie , thank you for the kind words , Darla ,will you or another mod. remove one of my pictures of the barn , my truck needs a new paint job, if I post pictures of it will you give me a idea on what color of paint to use it got one bad dent that needs to be fix before painting

There you go redneck..I kept the picture with the most hits because it's kind of fun to keep track..You seem to be a very nice & interesting gentleman who enjoys visiting the forum..Now that you have a camera you can interact even more..I hate to tell you that I don't know a thing about auto colors, but someone else will probably step in & give some advise..have a great day redneck..

thank again Darla I try to take a photo of my truck when the sun is shining, my problem is picking paint colors that go together

[redneck]

OK, I was able to take fairly decent photo of my truck this morning the factory paint job is purple and I need idea on what paint color will work with purple

You've got a pretty good spot there redneck.. If you can't match the purple & don't want to repaint the whole truck then I would suggest art work using complimentary colors..the complimentary color to purple is yellow--anything with yellow to orange can't help but look good on your truck..that puts you right into the flame catagory..if you choose to do flames I wish you much better luck than I've had..

[redneck]

pretty good spot , if you are talking about the white paint , I fill a number of dents and spray the white paint to cover up the filler both sides and across the hood
since I am on fixed income , probable will finish the painting myself , orange and yellow plus flames or scallop will do many thanks
